Two post in a week , this is a real progress for me. i love love cooking and that was a reason for me to start a food blog of my own where in i can document my tries and tested recipes. But somewhere along the way life took over and i forgot my blog. Planning to post reguraly from now on . I have joined some baking groups on Facebook where in we all cook a particular dish for a month with a twist of our own and Groovy Gourmets is one of them. This months Challenge was Pannacotta and i prepared it a mango version.

Panna cotta is one of the easiest yet elegant desserts from Italy and it consist of very less ingredients as well. I have used agar agar to set these and cant wait to try out different flovours with strawberry and coffee being top on my list.

How do u feel when you prepare something new and love the result……how do you feel when u put your feet on uncharted territories,How do you react when a unknown challenge is thrown at you,…………. For me it is exhilarating to do something new, to learn something new. I love baking and love to experiment different recipes, but my comfort factor is baking simple cakes and some basic breads as well cookies, As soon as the Icing word pops out, i have cold feet as i am not very good at it, why am i not good at it is coz i have not tried many as well.

We have a passion – it’s baking!
We have a mission – its making baking simpler (for everyone)

I am happy to be a part of it coz that will give me a chance to bake new recipes and learn something new in the process as well. Do click herefor the details and for the roundups as well.

The recipe for this month is Coffe and Chocolate Pudding and this is the 1st time i have made this. The pudding came out very nicely and a best treat for a cold day. It is best had when warm with a scoop of ice cream. The recipes calls for eggs which i dont use so made some changes on that part

Blogging brings in new challenges and a chance to learn new recipes as well. I recently joined Taste and Create Group and i really love the concept of cooking from others blogs.

Taste&Create was started as a food event by Nicole from For the Love of Food. It’s whole purpose was, and has been, to create a community of bloggers who test each others’ recipes and share links. It has also been to help new and not so well known bloggers get their foot in the door of the foodie community.

This is my 1st post for taste and create and i was paired with No Reason Needed. A long time was spent on deciding as what to cook from her blog and at last decided on preparing Caramel Sauce…. the simple reason being i have never prepared it at home. I never knew it is so easy peesy to prepare caramel sauce,so here goes the recipe.

Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

ar Sugar 1 cup

Water 1/4 cup

Amul Cream 1/2 cup

Method

In a wide pan mix sugar and water and stir gently on a low heat till the sugar dissolves.

Cook the sugar till it reaches a amber brown color but never never mix it with a spoon at this stage.

Only swirl the pan in regular intervals.

Remove from heat and add cream and the bubble will start coming up……….Dont get too scared as it will subside down as well.

Cook again for 2 mins till it comes to a creamy and smooth consistency consistency.

U can store the mixture or use it to make caramel popcorn or pour them over chopped Bananas as she has done.

I loved making this recipe and was so very happy doing it. I really appreciate people who are so open in trying out doing different recipes and Kavi’s blog Edible Entertainment is one of them. I like that she has tried so many different types of recipes and i had a bit of time in deciding the one i would like to cook. Initially i had decided on making Onion Rings but when she posted this recipe recently i was sure that this would be the one i would be making.

I have hardly tasted cheesecake earlier so it was a good thing that i made this.It tasted just so awesome and i am so very happy to make it. It tasted so delicious and i was so proud to present it to my family. Loved the crust and then the creamy layer on the top it was silky smooth and melt in the mouth texture. So lets rock to the recipe now,do really try this out coz it was yummy and yummy.

I have followed kavi’s recipes till the most part by making only some minor changes.
